Hail storm today!

I have had birthday parties for my youngest on 14th June when it actually snowed. Yet her sister's birthday on 30th June the same year was boiling hot.

Heavy rain here in Berkshire, and it was so cold last night that I put my heating back on.

Yesterday we had a sudden hailstorm just as we arrived at the crematorium for my mothers funeral - the pallbearers got very wet! My daughter was one of them and looked like a drowned rat when she got inside.

South of Denmark:

Overcast with thunder and rain showers , and the temperature a bit low for the time of year.

I'ts changing by the hour here; some years ago there was a hailstorm in mid June so fierce that plants in hanging baskets were shredded, and our road looked like a Christmas scene. We later discovered that the force of the hailstones had penetrated the top of our bay window and we had to have a part of the ceiling replaced. What fun the English weather is - many years ago we went for a stroll in t e warm sunshine in the park on Christmas afternoon. Don't you just love it?

Sunny her in the very North of Scotland. There is almost always a breeze, as we are quite close to the sea!

here in 'sunny' sussex it's currently 15 outside and 18 indoors but feels much colder. i have resorted to wearing my camisole vest again for the past week, but then, i am old!!

Sunny in Dirking, Surrey

Beautiful day here in North Cornwall.Hoping it keeps fine for the rest of the holiday..

Torrential rain and hail in Co.Antrim yesterday, but it's blue skies and sunshine today.

On South Coast we've had torrential rain quite a few times in the last few days and weeks, with associated flooding, and brilliant sunshine on the same day.

Beautiful sunny day here in North East Scotland. Fluffy clouds not cold. We will have a nice sunset tonight as the sky is clear this evening.

Honeysuckleberries and tanith, I too live near Heathrow. I was gardening with my little grandson and keeping an eye on the darkening sky as the washing was out on the line. We decided to bring it in just in case and returned to the garden moments before the first roll of thunder. All our tools were still out and I stuck a towel on my head and ran round the garden collecting two of everything while lightning flashed and I was bombarded with hailstones. I am nervous of lightning but was delighted with the deluge like most gardeners I imagine.

Hail is commonly associated with thunder storms, occasionally as big as golf balls in some countries, often a very small area affected.
